OH MY!!!! People!!! I cannot believe I missed my SURGEVERSARY yesterday!!!! It was June 6th!!! LOL I will admit, part of it is that I am just happily going about my life!!! Thank you for being there VST community!!!!

I've been away from the board and wanted to say "hey!" Lots going on - not bad, just busy and slammed with work. Wanted to send you all well wishes and tell you this board is still on my mind!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Raining! Indoor treadmill for me today! I know we need the rain but I am so looking forward to sunshine!

Okay, where are those dancing bananas we used to be able to include in our posts?!

It was my mother's birthday yesterday. I did not even touch the birthday cake! It was effortless! I just love this sleeve!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! I made it to 80 lbs. lost!!! I can't believe it!!!! I'm so happy you guys!!!! I'm at 167.5 and can't wait to get below 150. I think I'm approaching the home stretch! :-)

Finally at ONEDERLAND!!!! Posted on the forums. I can't believe it happend. It ignited a true belief that I CAN reach goal and that this procedure WILL work for me too!

I've been right at onederland's door!!!! Maybe this week will be it and I'll break through!!! Fingers crossed... off to the gym to "encourage" my body

I finally started going down again. (I'm the one who always complains about all the stall and drops!) I'm so excited I am just 5.5 Lbs from onederland!!! I hope I don't stall here too long! :-)

Hope you're doing well Bryn!!! I was out of town when you got your surgery and I did not get a chance to wish you luck. But I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way!

LOL, yes. It's hard watching others "shoveling it in," as you say! :-) I have to accept I use to shovel at the same rate LOL Thanks for your post!

Just got back from a 10 day trip. I'm so happy everything did well. I was able to get my proteins in AND the most amazing thing... I was able to eat quite a variety of food with no problems at all!!!! In very small quantities, of course. But I managed quite well right off of regular menues. I focused on proteins but had a few vegies. I am just 7 weeks out!!! I'm soooo happy. I'm feeling quite "normal."

Saw my surgeon yesterday! He thinks I am doing well and that weight stall is due the difficulties I've been having with proteins of late. Although I think I'm back on track this week. He also said my body is till working to adpat and normalized. Much of what everyone here has been saying. THANK YOU all for all the support and words of encouragement!!!!!

I am so struggling with eating! I thought the mushies would help but everything tastes yuk! I'm sick of protein drinks. They either give me the runs or make my stomach turn. The mushies almost immediately give me the runs. I long for some "normal" food. Nothing fancy, but just "real." Anyone go through this?!

Myrori! How are you feeling?! How did things go with your appliance?! I hope you are better and that things got resolved ok.

I am finally starting to feel myself again... minus the stomach! :-) I have great energy and just feeling "normal." I am so excited, I almost feel euphoric! How weird is that?!?!?!

Hope you're doing well Valentina. Thinking about you!!!!
